The technology is catching on big time and it's easy to understand. I'll just mention a few aspects and the first is reason alone why you should learn all about how to do it and join the masses.

We have an excellent distribution channel..like TV..for our marketing:
the viral nature of this medium is hard to ignore.

Jim Edwards as usual is the leader of the pack in bringing out a great website video course leaving no stone unturned.

"A "viral video" is a video played from a web page or as a file on your computer. It goes "viral" because one person sees it and passes it on to more people, who in turn pass it on to their contacts (like a cold virus)."

The next aspect is still in it's infancy buit the signs are there: your own medium for TV/website infomercials.

As mentioned by Jim Edwards...

"Google started offering video from their website. Google's video offerings so far, comprised mostly of documentaries, news, and daytime talk TV programs, represented a testing device to get the kinks out of their video delivery and search system."

He further states:

" TV and the Internet will eventually merge into one giant multi-media "melting pot" that includes everything from live footage and old reruns to garage videos posted by your next door neighbor's kid."

To learn about the other aspects that will make video a HOT marketing tool I encourage you to read the articles. You must not miss this opportunity to get in on the action. Jim Edwards course will really help you understand how to put it together.
